Apparently more people read this thing than just you guys. I guess that means I have to update more. Lousy new people.

So here's one that's been in the queue for a while, because I couldn't really think of a good intro. All you need to know is Brianna's school had a fundraiser, so she brought home a catalog for us to bring to work and see if anyone sees anything they might want. There was actually some pretty cool looking things in there, not the crappy magazine subscriptions we were forced to shill. My mom bought a trivet. Here are the instructions that were printed on the back of the box.

INSTRUCTION

1. HEAT PRESERVATION WHILE HEATING

PUT THE MARBLE SIDE UP, HEAT AS FOLLOWS:

POWER OF THE MICROSTOVE

600-900W 3-5MIN

1000-1500W 2-4MIN

NOTE: DIFFERENT POWER AND DESIGN OF THE MICROSTOVE WILL LEAD TO DIFFERENT HEATING TIME. IF THE WARM PLATE DO NOT HOT AFTER HEATING UPON THE ABOVE MINUTES, YOU CAN HEAT A BIT MORE TO REACH THE TEMPERATURE YOU NEED.

PUT BOWL OR SOMETHING ELSE WHICH YOU WANT TO KEEP WARM ON THE HEATED PLATE.

CAUTION:

A. THE TEMPERATURE RANGE IS +130C TO -20C. OVER HEAT WILL LEAD TO MELTING OF THE PLASTIC HOLDER.

B. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH STONE ON BOTTOM OF THE PLATE WHEN HOT. ALWAYS HOLD BY HANDLES.

2. HEAT PRESERVATION WHILE COOLING

FREEZE IT FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS THEN TAKE OUT, PUT THE DRING YOU WANT COOLING ON THE MARBLE.

Now I don't know how to wrap up. There's not really a whole lot to say, I guess.

Oh wait, I found virtually the same description online, except "dring" now says "drink" which is only marginally more coherent. It still says "If the warm plate do not hot enough..."

For some reason, Saw V is coming out this week. I guess they're just going to do that every year. The only Saw I ever saw was Saw. Whoa. That's weird. That's a lot of saws. Also, saw spelled backwards is was. And saw and was are past-tense verbs, of see and is, respectively. Si is Spanish for yes, and si spelled backwards is is, the present tense of was, which is saw spelled backwards.
